The insurrection was not a spontaneous act nor an isolated event. It was a battle in a broader war over the truth and over the future of American democracy.
The story is in three parts:
Before: Red Flags
As Trump propelled his supporters to Washington, law enforcement agencies failed to heed mounting warnings about violence on Jan. 6.
During: Bloodshed
For 187 harrowing minutes, the president watched his supporters attack the Capitol — and resisted pleas to stop them.
After: Contagion
Threats and disinformation spread across the country in the wake of the Capitol siege, shaking the underpinnings of American democracy.
